Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 7: Yandang Mountain Seniors

Turning over the yellowed pages of the book, Zhao Rong had the luck that "the sword score is hidden in the piano score".

What is recorded at the beginning is the fingering method of the left hand and the fingering method of the right hand.

"Southern Wind Song, Yilan Cao, Xiang Fei's Complaint."

"This is undoubtedly the music score."

With half interest, he closed the Taikoo Yiyin and smacked it a little, and he roughly understood Lu Shilai's good intentions.

Pu Kui mentioned that Lu Shilai's nominal master was Liu Zhengfeng.

Although he is not liked by Mr. Liu San, he has served him filially for many years and understands his preference well.

As a well-known music master in the world, Liu Sanye has a wide circle of friends, and his colleagues from all over the world give him some respect. His power within the Hengshan faction even exceeds that of the leader Mo Dayi.

To be appreciated by such senior masters, it is naturally necessary to do what they like.

If the third master asks you if you know the rhythm and if you can play the piano, you will say that you can play cotton.

Then you still expect the Third Master to pass you the Returning Wind and Luoyan Sword?
Lu Shilai presented Taikoo's music score. Although he did not express the deep meaning, silence was better than sound at this time.

After thinking about it, Zhao Rong opened the music score and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

After becoming the escort of the escort agency for a few days, he was not in a hurry to arrange the work of escorting the escort on the road. Lu Shilai knew Zhao Rong's details, so he first arranged for him to work near Luoli Pier, which is not far from Zhaojiawu.

On weekdays, I unload and load goods, do some bodyguard work, and also take care of selling fish at the Western Market stall.

Based on the monthly interest of two taels of silver, he would not have been able to get such an easy job without Lu Shilai's relationship.

Of course, Zhao Rong would also be assigned to do odd jobs such as feeding the horses, squatting on the pole, supporting the horses, loading and unloading, and carrying the horses.

Each escort will go through it, and experienced escorts will teach it, so that newcomers can get started quickly.

Zhao Rong's attitude was modest and polite, and with Pu Kui taking the lead, he soon became acquainted with several traveling escorts and talked and discussed with them. In a short period of time, Zhao Rong gained more knowledge and learned many things that he could not learn on the fishing boat before. .

For example, the leader of the escort team shouts to the enemy, "Step forward, feed the hidden weapons," and everyone is preparing their hidden weapons. If you are still standing there, you may lose your life because you are slow.

Although the escorts also like to brag and exaggerate about the slang and anecdotes on the road, Zhao Rong listens to them with interest.

Only once, he accidentally mentioned Heimuya's title of "Eastern Undefeated", and the expressions of several escorts changed drastically.

There is a spacious stable in the south courtyard of the escort agency, which houses more than 20 horses.

Zhao Rong learns horse riding from a horse training master.

This was arranged by escort leader Lu. Riding a horse was a basic skill for escorts.

The escorts not only escort objects, but also escorts for letters, tickets, silver, food, and people. Sometimes they have to be on the road. If they don't even know how to ride a horse, how can they travel around the world?

In a few days, Zhao Rong mastered basic riding skills and was able to control a docile horse.

If you want to unite man and horse, you have to practice more in the future.

In mid-September, at the end of the third autumn, Zhaojiawu's fishing boat returned safely from Tanshui.

Zhao Rong knew the departure time of Changrui Escort Agency, so he went to Changsha Mansion and took the Xiangshui Road, passing by Tanshui. In addition to the personnel sent by the escort agency, there were also people from the Red Wolf Gang to escort them. The Haisha Gang on Shajiao Island did not dare to act rashly.

Taking advantage of this time to go fishing, the safety factor will be doubled, which is an advantage in having information.

It has been nearly a month since he entered Changrui Escort Agency, and Zhao Rong has lived a very fulfilling life.

The only trouble is that my practice has reached a bottleneck and my skill growth is slow.

"Lu Shilai has the habit of becoming a disciple at the end of the year. It seems that the opportunity will come in three months."

After coming out of the Changrui Escort Agency, it was getting late. Zhao Rong sat at a roadside stall on Ximiao Street and ordered wontons to eat.

The wonton seller was an old man. He bent over and stood beside the carrying pole. He opened the lid of the pot and let the steam rise. He threw the wontons into the hot soup and made three large bowls for Zhao Rong.

The autumn wind is clear and the autumn moon is bright. The fallen leaves gathered and dispersed, and the jackdaws roosted again.

While eating wontons, Zhao Rong looked at the moon in the sky, thinking about the past, the future, and everything else. For a moment, his thoughts were in a mess and he was a little absent-minded.

Suddenly, the muscles in his body tensed up, and a sense of urgency filled his body.

My skin feels a subtle pressure, as if there is an invisible gaze penetrating through me.

He couldn't help but look at the dark alley to the side, the withered yellow leaves clinging to the bluestone pavement, the khaki cracked walls, and several nightingales squatting on the bricks above. After Zhao Rong glanced at them, they made a "croak" sound. It flapped its wings and flew away.

Dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the dark sky pressed down. Is someone watching me?
When Zhao Rong was uneasy, a cool breath came from the pendant on his chest, which calmed him down.

Suddenly, I noticed that the old man selling wontons was also looking towards the alley.

The old man turned back and stared at Zhao Rong, a look of suspicion on his wrinkled face.

"Your intuition is quite keen. The body technique you just performed was extremely fast. You are definitely a master in the body-lighting technique."

The old man smiled teasingly again:
"But I didn't expect you to notice him. This one dodged over the wall and looked very embarrassed. It's a bit funny."

funny?

Zhao Rong was frightened and didn't know how he was being targeted.

Old Man Wonton is also a master, and he didn't even realize it.

"Senior, when did that person come?"

"It didn't take long, he was here when you sat down to eat your first bowl of wontons." The old man of wontons was clearing away the dishes as he spoke.

"Senior, does he know his origin?"

"I don't know."

"Three bowls of wontons, ten cents each, a total of thirty cents. After finishing the meal, we will pay the bill and I will close the stall."

Zhao Rong quickly took out the copper coins and counted thirty coins, but did not dare to give more.

Looking at this ordinary old man, Zhao Rong asked tentatively: "But Senior He from Yandang Mountain in southern Zhejiang?"

Old Man Wonton was surprised at first, then laughed: "You are so young, but you actually recognize me."

"There are many rumors in the world. Senior He Sanqihe of Yandang Mountain travels around the world. He has martial arts skills and is a chivalrous and righteous person. People in the martial arts community respect him very much."

Zhao Rong felt that he had recognized the right person, and immediately said: "I heard the heads of the Changrui Escort talking about it. I remember this tondan, and I saw the superior demeanor of my senior, so I pretended to make a guess."

He Sanqi was of an indifferent nature and didn't pay attention to Zhao Rong's compliments.

He just said: "Little brother, there is no need to worry about it. There is no murderous intention in that person. Otherwise, I can just use force to capture you. Why bother to be sneaky?"

When he thought about it carefully, He Sanqi's words did make sense.

But it's always uncomfortable to be watched secretly.

Who is this person?
He Sanqi packed up his bag of wontons and disappeared down the street.

Zhao Rong stood on Ximiao Street, looking at the lights of the market, and felt that the autumn atmosphere was even more intense.

Suddenly, a loud sound of gongs and drums came from the direction of the escort agency.

"Walk away!"

"Go to the water!"

"Someone come quickly, the escort agency is cheating!"

what?
Zhao Rong frowned when he heard this. He had just finished eating wontons and felt strong, so he hurriedly ran back to the escort office in three steps and two steps.

Visible to the naked eye, there was thick smoke coming out of the escort office.

……

What Zhao Rong didn't know was that just as he left, a slender figure in black appeared where he had just stood.

This man had an elegant face and looked in the direction where Zhao Rong disappeared.

There was curiosity in his eyes.

……
